Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 16, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 927 southbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 309. Morning rush is the busier period: 480 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 393 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Tavistock Rd between Exbury Rd and Giovanni Caboto Park Trl (98 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Exbury Rd between Camborne Ave and Buxton Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Letchworth Cres (337 m away, 30 km/h limit), 4.5% of the 6,935 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
